Down time.


The past few days was yet another insane and hectic days whereby I get very little and even close to no down time at all. It has just been dragging myself up from bed, go to school, shoot, work, sift through my images and sleep before the cycle repeats itself to the next day. In the end, I get like some 3 to 4 hours of sleep and have to prevent myself from looking like a zombie the next morning. I get hungry almost all the time and I was so exhausted to the point that I almost fell asleep while writing in the Alice Diary which was very unlike me as usually when I write, thoughts just flow into my mind and I am just sorting out one thought at a time. Think about it this way. It is just like falling asleep while listening to rock music. Its either you are bloody tired, or you are just deaf.

I had been brilliantly making every single mistake during my work. From mixing up the table numbers to screwing up the customers orders. I've done them all. Next would be to break a plate, drop food on the floor, set the kitchen on fire and spill stuff on the customers.
Well perhaps the best thing about my job would be the food. I am a fan of ice-cream and right now, ice-cream will never taste the same with me having Gelato every day without fail! I am probably going to get fat at the rate I consume ice-cream but all that standing, walking and serving ought to make me feel less guilty everything I 'try' the gelatos(:

And there is a new joker 8D

Me: Hi. May I take your order?

Joker B: Yes please. Wo yao... *starts speaking in Chinese*

Me: O.o err....

Seriously. I am speaking to you in English and you just have to make me think even harder by answering in Chinese -.- Singaporeans... They just make my life difficult -.-


My school work has been progressing pretty well and I am pretty happy with it. Studio lighting is pretty fun besides some technical error Nikon is so not user friendly and I am probably going to get murdered in my sleep by my group mates at the rate I am going as I pretty much have a high expectation for everything and am very against using the Nikon camera. Other than that, yessu studio lighting is fun(: Its like re-learning what I learnt but this time round, I get to ask questions! F8. Shoot everything in F8. There is only one aperture to use and that is F8 -.-

Updates on the TPB would be that there are no updates. Well, put it this way. I really should not get involve any further than to hear what you guys have to say/ your complaints/ your rants as the fact is that I left and I really have to draw the line this time round. So if anything, please ask that person and not me>.< I don't know what happened and honestly I don't really give a damm as it involves that person so stop asking me as I really do not know how to reply some of the emails you guys sent.

Other than that, I am giving cosfest a miss this year as I need to catch up with my school work and sorting through my stack of images. I will be shooting Juliet again probably by the first half of this month once her urethane eyes arrives 8D *choir sings in the background* Yessu! I managed to get her blue urethane eyes at a stella price! So I am really happy! I was suppose to do a shoot with her based on the song -Still a Queen but I am having a giant headache as to coming up with new and creative shots as I know that my images are really static at the moment. So I need to break through at really bring my still life to the next level. This current set of images are not bad but I feel that I can achieve more as they are not good enough.
I am also very tempted to get Kiyomi Afghan eyes 8D Anyone up for a group order from Mystic world?

Anyways, currently every single idea/ plan for my documentary works has been put on hold due to the insane amount of work I have to do. So I am going to put my mind into capturing lots of awesome still life images this month and work on my stories hopefully by August. Wish me good luck(:

Oh and last but not least, due to the pretty blog skin that blogger provides, I will be changing my background once a month! Although I would rather use my own image than the one blogger has >.<

Jonny: Yea. Pretty much.

JKT: tell me about it. At least you are not carrying heavy plates while being really paranoid about screwing up the orders, breaking a plate or setting the kitchen on fire T_T
